Interdisciplinary Design Education - Book Launch
Overview
Join us for the launch of a new foundational guide to teaching and learning in design education.
Interdisciplinary Design Education: A Guide to Pedagogies and Practices, a new foundational guide to teaching and learning in design education written by University of Queensland academics Professor Cara Wrigley and Dr Genevieve Mosely, will be launched on 26 August 2026 and you're invited!
Bringing together leading voices from a global community of educators and practitioners, this book offers fresh insight into how design is taught today—and how it will be taught into the future. It explores the most relevant and innovative interdisciplinary approaches shaping contemporary design education, alongside practical strategies that translate directly into the classroom.
At the launch, you’ll gain a first look at:
- cutting-edge approaches to teaching design across disciplines
- six signature pedagogies and how they’re being applied in diverse learning environments
- practical case studies and lessons from international experts
- techniques that bridge design practice, learning sciences and education.
Designed for educators within and beyond design - from architecture and planning to business, engineering, health and the social sciences—this guide is a practical resource for anyone looking to create more engaging, effective learning experiences.
Join us to celebrate the release and hear directly from the authors about the ideas shaping the next generation of design education.
